Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi reports that the Blue Jays have signed pitcher Phillippe Aumont to a minor league contract. Aumont, from Quebec, recently helped Canada to a gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games.

Aumont was designated for assignment by the Phillies on June 20 and elected free agency a few days later. One of three players the Phillies received from the Mariners in the December 2009 Cliff Lee trade, the right-hander struggled with control and never reached expectations. Aumont has a career 6.80 ERA in 43 2/3 major league innings. The Phillies converted him to a starter this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and he had positive results in a small sample of 10 starts but he has never been able to overcome his control issues.

After trying and failing to wait out the rains Tuesday night, the scoreless Phillies-Reds game was suspended after 8 1/2 innings. When play resumed Wednesday, the Reds sent four men to the plate and all four reached, ending the game in less than 10 minutes.

Zack Cozart singled, Joey Votto walked, Brandon Phillips reached on an error and Jay Bruce delivered a game-ending liner to right off Phillippe Aumont to give the Reds the 1-0 win. They’re back up to .500 on the season after getting swept by the Pirates over the weekend.

The result made a winner out of Aroldis Chapman after he pitched a scoreless ninth last night. Chapman would have only thrown the one inning then, but he likely would have remained in and pitched the 10th today had the game continued. Chapman still hasn’t allowed a run in 7 1/3 innings this season.

For Bruce, it was his first RBI in nine days. The slugger still doesn’t have a homer in 62 at-bats this season. Bruce finished with 32 and 34 homers the last two years.

The Phillies and Reds combined on 17 scoreless half-innings Tuesday before rain delayed the game heading into the bottom of the ninth. With no end to the showers in sign, the game was suspended and will be picked up prior to Wednesday’s scheduled series finale.

The Reds used Aroldis Chapman in the top of the ninth in the tie game, and he’ll be eligible to carry on and pitch the 10th on Wednesday, should the Reds fail to score in the bottom of the ninth. That would be a nice advantage for the Reds, considering that it’s highly unlikely he would have pitched a second inning tonight.

The Phillies were set to use Phillippe Aumont against Zack Cozart, Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips in the bottom of the ninth. Chapman’s lineup spot is due up sixth in the inning.
